I’ve made quite a few things using almond flour. I like almond flour but I wanted to try coconut flour to switch it up a little. I LOVE this brownie recipe. I think it’s better than the almond flour brownies. These brownies were moist, I love that. You can just throw everything together but try to keep the wet ingredients for last… the coconut flour absorbs the wet quickly.
These make a 13X9 pan of brownies… if you don’t want as much just cut the recipe in half. Smooth the batter into a greased pan.
Bake.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Now these are an S for my Trim Healthy Mama Buddies!! So you can enjoy these yummy brownies after an FP meal or S meal. Also, I used xylitol. This can give people bathroom issue (uhum) so if you want to try Truvia or Stevia you can do that. Using Stevia shouldn’t mess up the batter, bulk wise, because the coconut flour absorbs everything anyway. You can sweeten anyway you want, just taste it. 🙂 Also, I did add about 1/2 a cup of Hersey’s Sugar-free Chocolate Chips. These are not on plan if you are a Trim Healthy Mama follower but they are optional anyway! 🙂 You could use chopped up 85% dark chocolate bits instead or stevia sweetened chocolate chips. If you use the stevia sweetened chips can you comment and tell me! I would love to know what kind you use and where you get them! Always looking for better ingredients!!

Coconut Flour Brownies
- Prep Time: 5
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 25 minutes
Description
Moist & chocolaty, sugar-free, and gluten free but still delicious!!
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour make sure not to pack flour but scoop & smooth off. You might want to take out about 2 tbsp just so it’s not packed in & won’t dry out the batter.
- 1 cup plus 4 tbsp of butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/3 cup of xylitol or 3/4 to a cup of truvia or 1/3 cup plus 3 tbsp. THM Sweet Blend
- 8 eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chip (this is optional but I think it helped add moister into the brownies)
- 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients.
- Mix well.
- Add nuts and chocolate.
- Spread in a greased 13X9 baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes increase as needed at 300 degrees.
Notes
- I made a chocolate whipped cream for a topping but honestly I liked the brownies with out the whipped topping. Add 4 tbsp. of heavy whipping cream, 4 tsp Truvia, 1 tsp of vanilla, 2 tbsp. cocoa powder. Whip up and add a spoonful. You could even do a butter glaze to keep it moist.

Just want to clarify that this is baking soda and the recipe does not call for baking powder?
Yes, I used baking soda. 🙂
If I were to replace Truvia with the xylitol, do I use the same measurements? Let me know. Also, where did you purchase your coconut flour? Looks so good.
I updated the recipe to include other sweeteners (but taste to see if it’s sweet enough for your taste buds)! 🙂 I also added 2 more eggs to the recipe.
Do you think this recipe could be made with THM Skinny Chocolate pieces?
Absolutely!! 🙂 YUM!
I had to bake them much longer and don’t know why? I used Xylitol and did everything the same as directions. Haven’t tried one yet, Hope they are good!
I hope they turned out for you… coconut flour is so so hard to work with!
I have used stevia sweetened chocolate chips, Lily’s brand. They are much more expensive than Hershey’s (which I have also used). I ordered mine from luckyvitamin.com, but you can also find them at Whole Foods. They cost about $6.99 for a bag, similar size to Hershey’s. I had a coupon for luckyvitamin.com through PayPal, otherwise I wouldn’t have ordered them!
Thank you for the info!! 🙂
What temp. do u preheat oven to?
I pre-heated my oven to 300 degrees! 🙂
These look delicious! Can’t wait to try them!
I love these. I have made them several times and love them every time! Thanks, Mrs Criddle!
These look good!
Should I melt the butter or just soften it?
Soften is fine… 🙂
Thank you for this yummy recipe and so many of your other delicious recipes that make it easy to keep my TrimHunkyMan on plan!
Yay!!! 🙂
I’m no baker, I admit…but what did I do wrong?? It tastes like pure salt. I used 1 cup baking truvia and followed the recipe. I did add some vanilla and caramel extracts. Would that increase the saltiness?
Did you use salted butter? I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you… this is one of my older recipes that I need to go back and tweak… they have worked for some but not for everyone. It so depends on the coconut flour in so many levels really. :-/
Are they supposed to be very loose when they come out, or already set?
They are supposed to hold together. I really need to rework this recipe though….
Anyway to make without xylitol? I have a dog in the house and I’m terrified she would get ahold of crumbs my daughter would drop.
You can Erythitol!
Any idea the carb count on these? I just made them but want to track my macros.
No I am sorry I don’t. I try to keep my ingredients within the ideal for low carb but don’t really keep a track of them.
Hi Sarah, I plan on using 100% original stevia instead of sugar alcohols. How much of that do you think I should use? Have you worked much with 100% original stevia?
Hmmm.. I really don’t know. I’m thinking a couple doonks but I don’t use straight stevia much so I am unsure.
I made this using Stevia and it was absolutely disgusting! I will NEVER make this again!
Thank you for telling me! I am sorry it didn’t work out… I know that’s not something anyone wants to happen! <3
